I have these growing - not a clue how as I thought I'd planted pumpkin Theres a few coming up on the 3 plants that I have.Remind me to double check seed packets in future!!

Boiled and pickled yum !

You're running the risk of disease if you replant potatoes from the supermarket.Seed potatoes are grown in the windy frozen north that is Scotland as the wind keeps the pests off that carry viruses/fungus.Some nurseries will have Charlottes in now specifically for growing for Christmas, but...

Just an update on my situation, i sent the dead trees back to them last week and confirmed today, they are sending me new ones out this week. Any news on yours @kazzawazza ?

Welcome to GC Wp1234. May I suggest that you re-post your problem and pictures in the Tomato 2015 thread at the top of the Edible Gardening forum. It's more likely to get a response there.

Thank you so much. I need to shift stuff around to accommodate everything I want to do next year. Which like you means waiting for crops to be harvested. But I can measure up, plan all in prep for end of Sept or Oct. Cant wait.Thank you. Will call by the stables and 'stock up'!

In the end I decided to just let mine flop (or they would have shaded out the adjacent polytunnel). They do seem to be drinking rather heavily.

Bout time us girlies got shewees!!! We could pee on the compost no problem then

Sooooo pleased I was out on Saturday with the netting. Counted 7 white cabbage butterfly on my garden this morning - SEVEN!!!!

Will make a note of these for next year.

Wonderful. Will move them out if the fruit cage and put something else in that needs protection. Already got toms and blueberries, but room for about 3 - 4 good sized containers.

Stick beans, any fruit or veg with yellowing leaves could and may benefit.

I'm having to remove them as Pup is eating any green tomatoes he can get to.

Sunglasses are compulsory!(Sorry, I couldn't resist).

Must admit that I can't see me growing them again next year, I have 6 plants in the greenhouse this year and none of my family like the taste, its just a lot of effort when no one likes them plus I had no luck in over winter the roots /tubers and I treated them like a Dahlia.

Awesome! Congrats! I can't wait to get started on this myself

We've the Stockli without the timer, bought it about 4 or 5 years ago. It came with three trays (could add more) which are just about enough for our usage. I sometimes wish we'd bought the one with a timer as often the ideal drying period ends when we are in bed. I could of course use a normal...

Thats brilliant @Zigs

Thanks @JWK I'll give it a go and time will tell.

I thought the nails might provide some needed iron to the soil . Well, that's my excuse
